I held the cigarette between my teeth, lighting it up with the lighter and took a drag, leaning my head back against the brick building. I played with the wheel of the lighter, watching it spark, and every now and then, briefly burn. It was a lot like life, about how it would spark and fade. There are those certain moments in life that flare up and spark. Those are the memories that you would remember for a lifetime, either good or bad. Sometimes they would grow into more, and burn. Some things burned brighter than others. But if you weren't careful, the flames could burn you. They would eat you up, and swallow you whole. And I had already let the flames begin.

Elodea Sothabella just moved away from Illinois to New Jersey and it's her first day of high school. Back at her old school, she only had one friend because of her style. So, of course, she's freaking out. She makes friends with Mikey Way and he introduces her to the rest of MCR, which, in this story, is sadly not a band:( One day, when she's at Mikey's, she meets Gerard- Mikey's brother that she didn't even know existed! Gerard is a recluse who stays to himself, but, can Elodea force him back into the world? Guess what? SPOILER ALERT! THIS IS A GERARD WAY/OFC FAN FICTION, YAY! & I guess you can call it an MCR fanfiction because they're all in here(: I DON'T OWN ANY MCR BAND MEMBERS OR THEIR FAMILIES, JUST THE PLOT AND ELODEA AND OTHER CHARACTERS I MAKE UP.
